This week we celebrated a hundred days for the formation of the exchange government. Until the last minute, we feared that the event would be celebrated at the funeral ceremony of the dissolution of the Knesset, but in the 90th minute, a video of the incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a speech by Deputy Prime Minister Bnei Gantz wound up telling us that the Wonder Government will continue for at least another four months. a treat.

By the time of the decision, everyone already understood that the real debate was not about the budget, but about the senior appointments in law enforcement agencies. The things were said in a wavy and shameless bristle. The battered state budget was taken hostage by Netanyahu in a battle against law enforcement, which began after his investigations began (contrary to his formal policy for years of protecting the judiciary and law enforcement agencies from radical reforms). At the end of the day, in the balance of terror between Ganz and Netanyahu, the latter blinked first without the two reaching agreement on the appointments.

"There is no connection between the emergency period and the appointment of senior officials to unmanned positions"

To understand the current madness one has to go back to the model of the hundred days. One of the issues is particularly infuriating the Chief Justice Esther animals High Court hearing on the coalition agreement, the original agreement was a statement that half the government's first year in office, she serves as a Government of emergency, "There will be no senior appointments.

" What's the connection? ", Wondered So the president, "There is no connection between the period of emergency and the appointment of senior officials to unmanned positions. They are taking advantage of the emergency period to change the order of Genesis. "Judge Menachem Mazuz further pressed the Likud's attorney:" My lord will take over the staffing position of commissioner, which could also be filled during the transitional government, was the opinion of the ombudsman. "Why is it impossible to appoint a commissioner a week after the government is formed?"

Following the judges' warning that they might intervene in this section, Likud attorneys and Blue and White asked to consult with their clients, and returned to the judges with a softened offer: a hundred days in which senior appointments would be avoided unless agreements were reached before them. The judges agreed.

Shamelessly, Netanyahu is trying to change the method of electing senior officials - which was created because of him

To the full article

Mine Commissioner and Attorney

The coalition agreement states that in the decision of the new government, a special committee will be established to discuss the manner in which the senior officials are appointed. In practice, in all this time nothing was done. A demonstration of blatant contempt for the High Court decision, in the spirit of Edelstein, was heard in Kiryat HaLeum. Almost every hundred days passed without any preoccupation with the issue of appointments. Gornisht. The government, without shame, did not even think of honoring its word to the High Court.

If so, after a hundred days, there is neither a commissioner nor a state attorney. In blue and white, they felt that after the tactical victory and after the election sword had meanwhile been removed from their heads, they should not press the Likud to advance the government's decision on appointing senior officials. Nissenkorn believes that in this exhausting and oppressive brain struggle, the continued holding of the position of State Attorney by Avichai Mandelblit is quite tolerable.

If blue and white ministers vote for Netanyahu and Ohana's commissioner, who will guarantee them that Likud ministers will vote for the state attorney general in the future, who will be recommended by the search committee?

In blue and white, they say that if the Likud wants a committee to examine appointments, they should give their share - a government decision on the principle of privacy (equality). If a committee is set up to examine the method of appointments, Nissenkorn will insist that it reach decisions within no more than seven weeks. In this scenario, which is still considered optimistic, at the earliest in about two months from today only a process for selecting a state attorney will begin.

If Netanyahu gives the green light to Ohana to declare the identity of the commissioner, Blue and White will of course be freed to set up the search committee to select a state attorney. There is a minefield here. The process of selecting a commissioner (held by the Likud) is much shorter If blue and white ministers vote for Netanyahu's commissioner and Homeland Security Minister Amir Ohana, who will guarantee them that Likud ministers will vote for the state attorney general recommended by the search committee in the future? Therefore, it is not impossible that the commissioner's appointment will continue for many months - contrary To Ohana's last statement on the matter.

The naked and frightening truth

The government's blatant disregard for the one-hundred-day principle has spawned a petition to the High Court. I find it hard to believe. The exclusion of the opposition representative from the Judiciary Selection Committee was also commented on by the High Court judges at the same hearing about three months ago, but when the day came, when a specific petition was filed in this matter - it was rejected. And restrained from being here for the last two decades.

Our privileged and amused preoccupation, the journalists, with the bending of political hands - who won, who lost, who blinked - makes us forget the true, depressing and historical story (in the bad sense of the word): Netanyahu's blatant attempts to undermine the rule of law for one reason - criminal charges against him. No other reason. We have already said. This is a simple and easy truth to prove.

It is not inconceivable that the appointment of the commissioner will also be delayed for many more months. Ohana (Photo: Jonathan Samia, Knesset Spokeswoman)

When you stop for a moment and look at this process, you realize how scary it is: in September 2015, Roni Alshikh was dropped from the GSS to the position of police commissioner, after Netanyahu promised him the GSS leadership at the end of his term as commissioner. The promise of the award did not confuse Alsheikh when the investigation files landed with him in 2016. Alshikh received the sentence for backing the investigators from the then Minister of Internal Security Gilad Ardan, when he decided in September 2018 not to extend his term. Did not extend, but also failed to appoint him a replacement.

All attempts to appoint a commissioner on their behalf, including the ridiculous attempt to snatch Brigadier General Gal Hirsch (who was then involved in security business in Georgia), failed one after another. Thus, due to Netanyahu's fear of another hostile commissioner, the police were left without a permanent commander , A year and a half since the retirement of Alshikh.

Is there a connection between the above and the events of last Saturday in Balfour? In my opinion this is not a false thought at all. I will begin by emphasizing that I strongly object to the blatant derogatory remarks made towards the police during the demonstrations; in general, if the protesters listened to me And that excessive preoccupation with them may slightly miss the purpose of the protest.Polishing violence is not exclusive to Balfour demonstrations.

Confusion theory

The connection lies in the loss of the way of the police, which stems in part from the lack of leadership. If I had to characterize the behavior of the police in demonstrations in one word, it was not violence, but confusion; What characterized the behavior of the police in Balfour is both professional and value confusion.

We saw it in the inexplicable friction of police officers and policemen with protesters last Saturday in Balfour, and we also saw it in media interviews. Does the policeman who uses a hard hand towards a specific demonstrator at 23:00 know if it is the same demonstrator who was in the procession at 19:00? What is the connection between dealing with a demonstration at a given time - which is no different from the demonstration that was there a week before, so the police contained the Its existence - for another event that took place at the beginning of that evening?

And if that was not enough, after the demonstrations, Lt. Gen. Ofer Shomer, commander of the Zion area, was interviewed and said: "They (the demonstrators) behaved towards the police as masters of the country. A very senior officer who inadvertently, unintentionally, admits in one way or another that his enforcement policy stems from insult and anger at the protesters.

Professional and value confusion. Guetta strikes demonstrator, Saturday (Photo: Reuters)

How Simple The Confusion Theory: A guard is the commander of Lt. Gen. Nisso Guetta, who is suspected of attacking protesters. Shumer is a subordinate of Superintendent Doron Yedid, and most recently a temporary commander in charge, who is actually competing against him for the position of commissioner. At the demonstration meeting, Yedid received a friend on the head from Minister Ohana. I believe a friend "To; But I do think his incoherence in enforcement stems from confusion, distress and fear.

Friend, Guardian and Guetta are stray officers who have lost their professional and value way in a battered and frightened organization. The police have been an abandoned organization for a year and a half, an organization that is making feverish efforts to head a commander on its behalf.

If so, Commissioner We have since December 2018, and the state prosecutor in December 2019. The replacement of both of them are in the offing. Like the police, the state prosecution, Netanyahu wants employees are confused and scared. The more you more confused and less determined, the easier it overwhelm you.

Afterthought Perhaps all of the above article is based on erroneous assumptions. After all, only yesterday did Netanyahu inform the High Court that "he will not deal with the appointment of an attorney general, state attorney and police commissioner." There is some reason to doubt the credibility of the Israeli prime minister's statement ?
